Group Therapy
An approachable, collaborative, and affordable way to explore a particular subject.
How it Works
Virtual and In-Person Options
Our groups are offered either virtually or in person, depending on the specific group. The location of each group will be clearly specified in the promotion, so you’ll know whether it’s online or at our center before signing up. After signing up, you’ll receive further details on how to join, depending on the format of the group.
Time Commitment
We now offer both traditional six-week series and one-time workshops. Our workshops provide an opportunity for focused exploration in a condensed format, while series delve deeper into topics across multiple sessions.
Therapist Faciliated
A licensed therapist facilitates each group, providing input to promote a dynamic experience and help participants explore the subject matter in-depth.
Group Size
Unless otherwise noted, these groups are between 4-10 participants, which allows all individuals to contribute.
Current Groups
Our group therapy series cover a topic, with individual sessions (called courses) within the series focusing on specific aspects of the topic. Participants can join a group for the entire series or just one of the courses.

The Art of KintsugiHost: Robert TurkBroken.
That daunting word can come with a bit of a sting. Yet, for many of us, the feeling of brokenness can hit home. This feeling may manifest as a struggle with imperfection, an inner critic, or difficulty embracing painful parts of life.
Join our Art Therapy Workshop for a creative and healing experience. You’ll learn the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi by repairing broken pottery with gold paint and adhesive. This in-person event will guide you through the process of embracing imperfections and creating something beautiful. No prior art experience is necessary—just bring an open mind and willingness to explore.
Discover the beauty in imperfection with us!
*Please note, this group is intended for participants 16 years and up.
